After holding consultations with representatives of the first four parliamentary groups – of We Continue the Change, GERB, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms and the Bulgarian Socialist Party – President Rumen Radev pointed out that the new government will need a strong social vector because our society is badly divided.

In the words of the President, the two caretaker governments enabled stabilization in the conditions of crisis, as well as a break with the iniquities of the past, and the formation of a new type of governance by people with a different kind of political profile but with shared goals for the future of Bulgaria. That is why, in Rumen Radev’s words, the approach to the formation of a coalition government can follow this pattern.

During the consultations with the Bulgarian Socialist Party, Rumen Radev laid emphasis on the fact that he expects the socialist party to make its contribution to furthering what has been achieved by the caretaker governments.
